The Tracked Variables module in Questies allows World creators to add custom character sheet items that the AI actively tracks and updates based on specific conditions. These variables can apply to Players, NPCs, or both, and they add depth and flexibility to gameplay by tying mechanics directly to the evolving narrative.
World creators define the variables, who they apply to, and the instructions for when and how they should be updated. For example, a Guild Rank variable might be applied only to Players or to all characters. The creator can then provide instructions for the AI, such as:
These instructions ensure that the AI handles updates consistently and in a way that feels natural to the story.
World creators can set up Tracked Variables during the world-building phase, defining who they apply to and the exact conditions for updates. Once in place, the AI automatically updates these variables as the narrative progresses, guided by the creator’s instructions.
This module ties character progression and World interactions to meaningful in-game events, creating a more immersive and dynamic experience for Players.
